Treatment of Virginia Farm 
We want to run our Virginia farm 
along the lines of “How to Handle a 
Virginia Farm,” as given by W. F. Mas¬ 
sey in recent issue. We have come upon 
the farm too late to lime the land and 
plant cow peas in corn, but we want to 
seed wheat this Fall. Would it be all 
right to put in acid phosphate when seed¬ 
ing wheat this Fall and sow clover in the 
wheat in the Spring? We want some hay 
next Summer, Can you advise some bet¬ 
ter plan? Ought lime to be used with 
wheat this Fall? The land, is red, sandy 
clay loam, used by tenants for several 
years, and needs building up. E. A. R. 
Stuart, Va. 
In your mountain county you have 
some differences in soil and a little m 
climate from the inquirer whose letter I 
answered some time back. So far as tlie 
money crops are concerned, there will be 
little difference. But there are locations 
in the Virginia mountains where some of 
the advice I have given would not he as 
applicable. That depends on the eleva¬ 
tion, for the elevation above the sea level 
has as much to do with climate as the 
latitude. On this point you do not inform 
me. Iu your section I would run the 
land longer in grass than in the section 
the suggested rotation was intended for. 
In fact, in Patrick County, aside from 
land I would permanently devote to apple 
orcharding, I would make wheat and 
grass the leading interest in crops, and 
beef cattle to consume the grass. Lime 
will he of benefit doubtless to wheat, and 
should be well harrowed in on the plowing 
for wheat. If you intend to put wheat 
on land now in corn, if the corn land was 
deeply broken in Spring, I would not re¬ 
plow deeply, hut would, after cutting and 
shocking the corn, put the land in fine 
condition with disk and spike harrow, 
working in 1,000 pounds of slaked lime 
an acre. As no legume crop has been on 
the land I would add some nitrogenous 
material to the acid phosphate and would 
make it ”00 pounds of 16 per cent acid 
phosphate and 100 pounds of cottonseed 
meal an acre. Sow Red clover on crusted 
ground iu late February, when the thaw¬ 
ing by noon will cover it. Temporarily 
to get some hay at once you can sow some 
land in Sudan grass the first of .Tune, 
and can probably cut it twice, cutting 
first as soon as the heads begin to show 
and before the grass gets reedy. Drill 
the wheat as soon as possible after the 
first slight hoar frost to prevent the fly. 
With more complete information in re¬ 
gard to the situation of the land I can 
suggest more intelligently , for I have 
plowed the red hill" of Virginia years 
ago. W. F. MASSEY.

Propagating Raspberries 
On page 1127 ,T. H. H. of Oloversville, 
N. Y., asks about propagating raspberry 
plants, which was answered in part. The 
writer has the same variety noted in the 
query. As the various types of animals 
develop specimens that are white, with 
red or pink eyes, so many plants seem to 
develop albino sports or types. The 
blackberry has its variety “Crystal 
White.” the red raspberry the “Holden 
Queen” and the black raspberry “Beebe’s 
Golden.” ,T. E. E. evidently has the lat¬ 
ter type. Blackberries and red raspber¬ 
ries produce under ground branches that 
arc easily propagated by cuttings as de¬ 
scribed. The blackcap raspberry plant 
grows differently, and commercially is 
rooted by nurserymen hv burying the tips 
of the runners with a hoe in August or 
September. Even the wild plants will 
often he found with the tips burying 
themselves and forming a strong plant 
over Winter in various places at the tips 
of the vines. A man with judgment and 
a hoe can help it many fold.

dlossom-end Rot of Tomatoes 
What is the matter with my tomatoes? 
They seem thrifty and free from insects, 
and are just loaded with tomatoes, but 
as soon as the fruit begins to get a 
good size (still green) they begin to rot. 
There are two or three others around me 
who are having the same trouble, but do 
not know the cause. F. H. 
South Berwick, Me. 
This disease appears in dry weather 
especially on light soils where the supply 
of water is insufficient. The rot oceur- 
before the fruit reaches its full size, and 
generally early in the season. It make.- 
its appearance at the blossom end in th< 
form of sunken brown spots, which grad 
ually enlarge. Such spots are dry and 
hard. No definite control is known, hut 
the rot can he lessened by adding organic 
matter in the shape of manure and by 
irrigation. Shading plants to lessen 
transpiration is also recommended and 
could be practiced on the affected plants.

Suddenly

YOU CAN AVERT BREAKAGE 
You are pretty sure that the big important 
parts of your machines and other equipment are DROP 
FORGINGS. No responsible manufacturer would dare use 
castings for the parts that carry the bulk of the strains. 
But are you equally sure that the smaller, 
less conspicuous yet vital parts also are genuine 
If they’re not, it evidences false economy 
by somebody —and you, as the buyer and user, can’t afford to 
take chances in delays and losses due to sudden break¬ 
downs at critical moments. 
“A broken cam can cause a jam.” So it 
is good business to ask the salesman just what parts are guar¬ 
anteed to be DROP FORGINGS. Judge his machine by 
his answer. Let him know that you know that “DROP 
FORGINGS are stronger than castings can be.” It is an 
established scientific jact. No evasion of it is possible with a 
well-informed buyer. Do some insisting. It will pay you. 
In the meanwhile, drop a card and get the valuable book, “WHAT IS A 
DROP FORQINQ?” Free on Request. No arguments in it—just facts — 
the ones you want.
